Immune & Antimicrobial — Cannabinoid Research Pillar

Cannabinoids and the Immune System: An Overview

CB2 — the cannabinoid receptor concentrated in immune tissue — sits at the center of this pillar: what it does, where it is found, and why the ECS functions as a modulator of immune responses rather than a simple activator or suppressor.

CBG and Antimicrobial Research: Antibacterial and Antifungal Signals

Two research threads — an MRSA finding with both in vitro and in vivo mouse model evidence, and earlier Candida biofilm research — what each has established and why neither constitutes evidence of clinical antimicrobial efficacy.

The Oral Microbiome and Cannabinoids: What the Research Suggests

The mouth contains one of the body's most complex microbial communities, and its tissues express cannabinoid receptors. What the research shows about the ECS in oral biology and where CBG's antibacterial activity is relevant.

Cannabinoids and Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria: What the Research Has Found

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the defining challenges in modern medicine. CBG's in vitro activity against MRSA is one of the more striking findings in cannabinoid research — what the evidence shows, and why the gap between in vitro and clinical is particularly wide in this domain.

Your Immune System and the ECS — What the Research Shows About How They're Connected

For the person who gets sick often, recovers slowly, or whose immune response seems dysregulated — what CB2 receptors do and what the cannabinoid research has examined.

Mast Cells, Histamine, and the Endocannabinoid System

Mast cells are the immune system's most rapid responders — tissue-resident cells that release histamine and other mediators within seconds of activation. CB2 receptors are expressed at high density on mast cells, and their activation modulates the degranulation response. What the research shows, and where the gaps remain.

Oral Health, Bacteria, and What CBG Research Has Examined

For the person who takes their oral health seriously and wants to understand what the research shows about CBG and the bacteria involved in tooth decay and gum disease.

When Allergy Season and Cannabinoids Overlap

For the person who takes cetirizine, loratadine, or another daily antihistamine through allergy season and wants to know whether CBD or CBG is safe to add — what is documented, what is unknown, and what is worth checking.
